We provide up-to- date facts, figures and peer-reviewed analysis of global developments in technology, policies and markets to decision makers. Our goal: encourage and enable them to make the shift to renewable energy happen – now! The most successful organisms, such as an octopus, have a decentralised intelligence and "sensing" function. This increases responsiveness to a changing environment. REN21 incarnates this approach. Our more than 2,000 community members guide our co-operative work. They reflect the vast array of backgrounds and perspectives in society. As REN21’s eyes and ears, they collect information and share intelligence, by sending input and feedback. REN21 takes all this information to better understand the current thinking around renewables and change norms. We also use this information to connect and grow the energy debate with non-energy players. Our annual publication, the Renewables Global Status Report, is probably the world’s most comprehensive crowdsourced report on renewables. It is a truly collaborative process of co-authoring, data collection and peer reviewing. 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 01 GLOBAL OVERVIEW Renewables grew rapidly in the power sector, while far TFEC, only a slight increase from 9.6% in 2013. The highest fewer advances have occurred in heating and transport. share of renewable energy use (26.4%) was in electrical uses excluding heating, cooling and transport; however, these end- Renewable energy had another record-breaking year in 2019i, as uses accounted for only 17% of TFEC in 2017. Energy use for installed power capacity grew more than 200 gigawatts (GW) – transport represented some 32% of TFEC and had a low share its largest increase ever. Capacity installations and investment of renewables (3.3%), while the remaining thermal energy continued to spread to all corners of the world, and distributed uses accounted for more than half of TFEC, of which 10.1% renewable energy systems provided additional households in was supplied by renewables. Overall, the slow growth in the developing and emerging countries with access to electricity and renewable energy share indicated the complementary roles clean cooking services. Also during the year, the private sector of energy efficiency and renewables. signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) for a record amount of renewable power capacity, driven mainly by ongoing cost Among the general public, support for renewable energy reductions in some technologies. continued to advance alongside rising awareness of the multiple benefits of renewables, including reduction of carbon dioxide Shares of renewables in electricity generation continued to rise (CO2) emissions. By year’s end 1,480 jurisdictions – spanning 28 around the world. In some countries, the share of renewables in countries and covering 820 million citizens – had issued “climate heating, cooling and transport also grew, although these sectors emergency” declarations. At the same time, while some countries continued to lag far behind due to insufficient policy support were phasing out coal, others continued to invest in new coal- and slow developments in new technologies. This resulted in fired power plants, both domestically and abroad. In addition, only a moderate increase in the overall share of renewables funding from private banks for fossil fuel projects has increased, in total final energy consumption (TFEC), despite significant totalling USD 2.7 trillion between 2016 and 2019. Although CO2 progress in the power sector. emissions remained stable in 2019, the world is not on track to As of 2018, modern renewable energy (excluding the limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius (°C), let traditional use of biomass) accounted for an estimated 11% of alone 1.5 °C, as stipulated in the Paris Agreement. i The Renewables 2020 Global Status Report focuses on developments in renewable energy in 2019, and therefore does not reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global energy systems. An overview of the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on the renewable energy sector will be included in GSR 2021.
